Electrical Preventive Maintenance in Townsville
GAP Industries North Queensland delivers certified electrical preventive maintenance for residential, commercial and industrial sites across Townsville.
We help clients prevent faults before they happen. Our licensed electricians carry out scheduled inspections, thermal imaging, RCD testing and load assessments to keep your electrical systems safe, compliant and operational.
Whether you manage a multi-unit complex, factory, office or rural facility, we tailor preventive programs to reduce risk, minimise disruption and extend asset life.
The Importance of Preventive Maintenance
Electrical issues rarely happen without warning. Most critical failures show signs such as overheating or voltage drops or nuisance tripping.
Preventive maintenance helps detect and fix these issues early to avoid safety breaches, unexpected downtime and expensive repairs.
By keeping systems within safe operating limits, you help extend asset lifespan and lower the risk of regulatory non-compliance.

Each program is customised to your property and includes:
